My Best Friend

 

I looked up at you for the very first time

And saw something there, very deep in your eyes.

It was pain, it was fear, but it was so much more.

It was doubt that I saw, as I looked through the door.

 

The pain that I saw, I know not where it came

But lately I’ve seen it more and more these days.

It’s showing itself in every way

But as the time goes by your voice seems to say:

 

“I’m fine. I’m ok. There’s no need to worry.

There’s just some things going on. There’s really no hurry

To fix me, cause really,

I’m not broken at all.

I’m just cracked.” But that crack was replaced with a wall.

 

So, with every day that passes by and by

I know that in everything you tend hide

That you’re scared of the future and all that it brings

But mostly you’re scared of nothing being what it seems

 

You’ve shut yourself off from most of the world

But trust me my friend I’m not most of the world

I will hold you and help you through all that I can

And If you can’t see that, well then, I know why you ran.

 

Why you’ve run from your love from your friendships from your life

But everything was replaced by something with more strife.

You see, the faster you run, the slower you become

And your fear will catch up no matter how fast you run.

 

So, I’m asking you please. Do it for me.

Be open and patient because I can see

The person you’d become if you just dare to be

A little more open. Just wait. You will see.

 

Things will get better. They won’t always be this way.

You’ll get through this. Trust me. For I know that one day

You’ll rise to the top and you’ll scream and you’ll say

“I did it!” And I’ll be glad. Because my best friend turned out so great.
